The Paragon Hotel was constructed in 1857 during the beginning of the gold rush and was known as the "Bushman’s Home". It was one of the earliest and largest buildings in Mudgee and was run by the publican Isaac McKenna serving many purposes such as meeting rooms, court cases, accommodation and was the centre for sports interests. It wasn’t until 1886 that it became known as the Paragon Hotel when it was then owned by Mr. Green until he died suddenly late in 1890 from an insect bite. In its time it has had a number of owners whom have been proud to be the home of such a historical community centre.
Today the hotel is proud of its heritage and whilst refurbishing and restoring the building to be reflective of modern lifestyles considerations of the hotels heritage are taken seriously. The hotel has embraced its past by using the name 'The Bushman' to brand its dining offering and is currently creating a new accommodation offering being named McKenna Terraces after the late Issac McKenna whom was the first ever publican of the hotel.
